<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p>Today marks the 55th birthday of the man who either wrote or co-wrote more or less every hit single in the INXS discography: keyboardist/guitarist Andrew Farriss.</p>
<p>There’s a reason why INXS used to be known as the Farriss Brothers: it’s because there were three of ‘em in the lineup: Andrew, Jon (drums and keyboard) and Tim (lead guitarist) were all founding members, along with bassist Garry Beers, drummer Geoff Kennelly, guitarist/saxophonist Kirk Pengilly, and lead vocalist Michael Hutchence. The band formally changed their name to INXS in late 1979, which is when things really started to get rolling for them, although they wouldn’t actually take over the world until circa the release of <em>Kick</em> in late 1987. In fairness, though, the fact that they succeeded in world domination in under a decade is still pretty darned impressive.</p> </div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-tags field-type-taxonomy-term-reference field-label-above"><div class="field-label">Tags:&nbsp;</div><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/tags/andrew-farriss" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Andrew Farriss</a></div><div class="field-item odd" rel="dc:subject"><a href="/tags/happy-birthday" typeof="skos:Concept" property="rdfs:label skos:prefLabel" datatype="">Happy Birthday</a></div></div></div>Fri, 28 Mar 2014 00:38:40 +0000rhino4956 at http://www.rhino.com
